Attempting to quantify this is an absolute JOKE and I find it hard to put ANY faith in a doctor who attempts to do so. Is he basing this off the huge sample size of schizo's who have beheaded and eaten people who they thought were aliens? Is schizophrenia a "yes" or "no", with no varying degrees of severity or other contributing factors at play? Because from his estimate it would seem to be a "one size fits all" diagnosis...
